Icom M510BB Black Box VHF with CommandMic

Icom's M510BB is perfect for boats that need AIS to receive functionality without taking up precious helm space. The CommandMic provides all the safety and communication functions for commercial and leisure boaters.

Features:

• Use the CommandMic for all operations, including DSC. Install the RF unit out-of-sight, placing it up to 60' (18.3 m) away from the CommandMic (2 OPC-1541 cables are required for the 60' installation, not included)
• Supports up to 2 additional CommandMic microphones
• Integrated AIS receiver, perfect for remote station information via the CommandMic, or integrated into the NMEA 2000 bus to display radar and chart plotter information on an MFD
• DSC button on the back of every CommandMic, the M510BB introduces a dedicated DSC Remote Control (EN 300 338-8 compatible) terminal, allowing a connection to an external device to centralize emergency communications control
• The NMEA 2000 network provides plug-and-play data communication to interconnect other marine equipment, such as an MFD. The radio can send AIS, GNSS (GPS) position, DSC call, and radio channels to other equipment
• DSC button on the back of the CommandMic. Once triggered, the M510BB transmits a DSC alert signal to nearby vessels with the MMSI and GPS location of your vessel. MMSI number must be obtained and programmed for each vessel/radio
• The built-in 15W amplifier increases the audio output of an external hailer speaker. The one-way RX hailer function enables you to broadcast radio traffic through the hailer speaker to listen to radio traffic on the deck or tower
• The Active Noise cancellation function digitally removes background noise from transmitting and receiving audio
• AquaQuake function
• Anchor watch function
